This comic can be considered a lie because most politicians aren't going to disclose their actual plans, but will make nice sounding promises that they really don't intend to keep. The last politician that announced what he was going to do was Walter Mondale in 1984, who announced that he will raise taxes, was soundly defeated on election night.
Note: I consider President Trump to be a modern day statesman.
